INTRODUCTION
The Post Graduate College of Nursing (PGCN) was established in 1988 with the vision to offer
Post Graduate Educational Programs in various disciplines of nursing to bring the nursing
profession at par with international standards so that nurses of this college can move and work
comfortably in any diverse culture nationally and across the boarder.
Federal Ministry of Women Development and Youth Affairs very generously provided financial
assistance (Rs 3.062 million) to have such a prestigious institute in KP along with building and
other infrastructure for the growth of nursing profession and for the improvement of health
care delivery system. In July 1991 the College was taken over by the Provincial Government.
Its foundation was laid in March 1988 with the inception of Post-registered Nurses Diploma
Course in the field of Ward Administration and Diploma in Teaching in subsequent year with
the enrolment of ten students in each discipline. Further development rest upon affiliation of
this college with the University of Sheffield UK for award of thirteen specialties clinical courses
in different clinical courses. From 1990, under this partnership program thirteen teachers were
trained and on their return they started various courses at PGCN. It was the driving force of the
Mrs. FaizAlam Zeb whose untiring efforts brought the dream into reality, the PGNC, a symbol of
nurse’s identity and was appointed as the first principal of the college.
Initially, PGCN started functioning at building of School of Nursing attached with Khyber
Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. On 13 th August 1999 it was shifted to its own newly constructed
building at Hayatabad, having thirteen independent suits with all modern teaching learning
resources. The college is financially and administratively maintained by the Health Department
of KPK.
Looking forward toward its vision, the college is proud to initiate first ever B.Sc. Nursing Degree
programs. One is a Two Year Post R.N for in service nurses, and the second is Four Year B.Sc. as
new induction, affiliation with of Khyber Medical University Peshawar. This will lead to higher
education parallel to any other education in respect of knowledge, skills and above all
professional dignity, respect and career development.
